TL;DR: "model creators realized they had a powerful source of labelled training data: the behavior of the users themselves. If an assistant offered up suggested code, the code ran successfully, and the user accepted the code, that was a positive signal" Reverse self-improvement.

"all models struggled on tasks involving false beliefs reported in the first person" That's precisely when my expertise was valued. It wasn't when I told a colleague "Damn... what a good idea" despite thinking from own expertise that it was wrong, rather it was when I warned them it looked off.

The biggest risk is repeating terms from the industry. The models are NOT "thinking", nor "reasoning". We conflate grand claims because we are too lazy to use technical terms, but doing so helps to sell lies. There is no reasoning. A broken clock is right twice a day, it doesn't "give time" then.

That's way to kind, they're just snake oil salesmen, con artists even. They are not labelled as such simply because of the scale at which it's done : too many people are in on the con.

OK ok we know that cars pollute, we have all witness rush hour traffic with 1 person per car... but have you considered 0 (ZERO!) person per car?! What the fuck. Honestly, as a species we are pretty smart but damn our dominant economical system based on greed is NOT working for our ecosystem!

This excellent film may start a little slow, but stick with it. It's a powerful short documentary about neo-colonial exploitation in the digital economy.

Why LLM won't replace coders, in 6 months or otherwise data.stackexchange.com/stackoverflo... : models will NOT get more quality data. If it was not good enough until now and there is LESS content to learn from, how do imagine the trend will go?

Incorrect TL;DR: a confident loud idiot will spread misinformation, again, with new means Epistemology is a demanding discipline and most of us are too lazy to care, regardless of consequences.

Fuck you people. Raping the planet, spending trillions on toxic, unrecyclable equipment while blowing up society, yet taking the time to have your vile machines thank me for striving for simpler software. Just fuck you. Fuck you all. I can't remember the last time I was this angry.

Still hyped about AI/AGI/ASI or at least its potential or (sigh) at least its potential to make money? Just a reminder news.bloomberglaw.com/bankruptcy-l... it's not a given. It's not because an ideal outcome sounds appealing the implementation can work or even be profitable.

Yes! 100% but as citizens vote for politicians promising MORE roads for cars, less bike lanes this is not happening.😔 Cycling is amazing. Cycling in traffic with SUVs, trucks, etc or just drivers checking out their phones is hell.🤬 It's about infrastructure thus politics, not individual behavior.

Well I didn't need another reason to hate Disney but... here we go!

Daring to try to build what you want takes under appreciated courage.

To be clear, this is technically possible & has been done before. It's impressive, really. It's also shit. Sure you get a cool hover effect, yes you can tilt a bit... but it's NOT immersive! It's a gimmick.🤡 For content to be immersive it has be DESIGNED from the ground up to leverage the space.

FFS is this true, do people have actually branded channels as remote buttons? The level of wall gardens is just... 🤢

Screenshot from my single screen setup. I now NOT do not maximize windows by default. I insure my desktop is genuinely spatial, namely that windows have relative positions. The window I'm mainly focusing on takes center stage yet others are still around all surrounded by some empty space for more.

Being transient is often seen as flawed yet if you are genuinely prototyping, namely building something that new and thus might fail, it is intrinsic to the practice. There is no escape from it so better to accept it and even leverage it. Take a snapshot, archive it, index it, be free again!

Keep in mind the Valve Frame announcement while reading this. Also consider the size of Steam catalogue. It's hard to imagine how irrelevant a large corporation can be.
